This SA bank now allows you get your ID, passport via its app
First National Bank (FNB) is expanding its partnership with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) to improve service delivery and accessibility nationwide. Customers can now apply for the reissuance and first-time applications of Smart IDs and passports through the FNB Banking App or its branch network. The collaboration, which began in 2015, has already seen more than 570,000 Smart IDs and passports issued through seven participating FNB branches. In the coming months, customers will be able to submit reissuance applications via the FNB Banking App or the DHA's existing online booking system. Through the app, they can request their Smart ID or passport to be reissued and either delivered to their address or collected from an FNB branch. For those requiring assistance, designated branches will remain available for photographs, fingerprints, and collection. FNB will also introduce status tracking so customers can monitor the progress of their applications once submitted. The bank's CEO Harry Kellan said the bank continues to innovate to meet customers' needs and is proud to maintain its decade-long partnership with the DHA in support of the government's digital transformation agenda. 'FNB recognises how critical Smart IDs and passports are to all South Africans, whether for applying for basic services, opening bank accounts, seeking employment, or travelling,' said Kellan. He added that the DHA's new technology, combined with FNB's systems and infrastructure, will help reach millions more South Africans. FNB Points of Presence CEO Zibu Nqala said the partnership is built on a shared commitment to improve access to essential services. 'We are proud to support the Department in delivering meaningful impact to communities across the country,' said Nqala. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 11.

Exact code to spot when £100 Nationwide payment lands in millions of accounts within weeks – will you be better off?
If you are not a Nationwide customers don't worry as we share other banks giving away free cash CASH HELP Exact code to spot when £100 Nationwide payment lands in millions of accounts within weeks – will you be better off? NATIONWIDE customers have been told the exact code to look out for to confirm a £100 payment has landed in their accounts. The high street lender is giving away the cash as part of its Fairer Share programme. 1 Nationwide customers have been told the exact code to look out for when the £100 cash lands in their accounts Credit: Getty The payment goes to members who bank with Nationwide regularly. Those who have a savings account or mortgage product could also qualify. Customers can expect the cash to land in their accounts between June 18 and July 4. And there is a code that customers should look out for on their bank statements to ensure they have received the cash - it is Nationwide Fairer Share Payment. But you must have opened a main current account with Nationwide by March 31 to get your hands on the money. You would have needed to have £100 in savings or owe £100 on your mortgage by that date. You also will need to have used your account within the first three months of this year. This is the third year that Nationwide has given away free cash to customers. Last year, it paid out a total of £385million to 3.85million customers and the year before £340million to 3.4million people. Back in December, the building society's boss confirmed it would make the payment for a third time. Major bank paying out £100 to customers It's worth noting, the £100 Fairer Share payment is separate to the £50 issued to around 12million Nationwide customers between April 9 and May 14. Recently the bank has also launched a new £200 switching offer to treat customers who sign up for its new bond. Nationwide's member inclusive bond is available to sign up to for all 16 million existing members and can be opened in branch, online or via the Banking App. This is a fixed-rate savings bond available only to Nationwide members. BANKING FREEBIES Nationwide is not the only bank giving customers free cash. TSB is giving new customers who switch to the high street bank a £100 switching incentive. You get the £100 upfront but if you spend on your debit card for 20 times in the first six months you get a £15 a month cashback. Santander has launched a new switching incentive to lure in customers. As part of the deal, customers will receive £180 within 90 days of making the switch. Cusomers need to pay £1,500 into the account within 60 days. This does not have to be deposited all at once. Customers must also set up two active household direct debits on the new account. This can include your council tax, mobile phone, home phone, broadband, paid-for TV packages, water, gas and electricity bills. Co-op Bank is also paying £175 to new customers.
